NOTE:  THIS TRIPPIN' EVENT HAS BEEN CHANGED. IT IS NOW ONLY A TOUR OF THE VALENCIA CULINARY SCHOOL SINCE THEY HAVE HAD A CHANGE OF POLICY ABOUT SERVING LUNCH. THERE WILL BE NO LUNCHEON SERVED AFTER THE TOUR; HOWEVER, THERE WILL BE A STUDENT PREPARED BAKE SALE OF GOODIES!!!!

With Orlando ranking as the most visited city in the U.S. it’s understandable that a career in hospitality management and culinary arts is so popular.

One of our MOST popular tours (if not the MOST popular Trippin’ outing last year) is a tour of Valencia School of Culinary Arts. An up-close-and-personal look at the students training in various professional kitchens. WEAR CLOSED TOED SHOES! The tour is completed entirely inside. There are stairs...but never fear...if you prefer, there is also an elevator!

Learn about the various degree programs offered in restaurant & food service management, bar and beverage management, event planning, hotel operations (including cruise ships) and theme park and attraction management.

The fee of $10 includes, tour, fees and donation to the Valencia School of Culinary Arts. Refunds will only be made for reservations canceled no later that April 6. After that time, you will only be given a refund if someone on the wait list is willing and able to take your place.
